AN OTAGO VIEW OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
* (BY TELEGRAPH —OWN COKpKSrONDBNT.I Dunedin, Thursday. Tub Daily Times declares that the present Government don't sufficiently recognise the necessity for economy, but doubts whether, in au Atkinson Government, it would be much better. The article continues :—" We want a new broom witk much stronger bristles. The broom, we believe, the colony possesses in Mr. John Bryce, a man without guile of lobbies and pigeon holes, a North Islander, but exciting no animosity in the South ; above all, a strong and stern man of the most independent character." Seeing the need for a strong administration the article goes on to hint at the desirability of a coalition, including Sir R. Stout, Sir J. Vogel, and Major Atkinson, under Mr. Bryce, whose determination and independence it considers are most likely to bring about a stern, judicious, and, as far as possible, permanent retrenchment.
